Officials involved with President Donald Trump’s border wall construction are awaiting sign-off from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to begin building more than 190 miles of barriers at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to recent reports.
An internal memo, outlining border wall progress, obtained by Axios and the Washington Examiner, indicated that, as of January 27, approximately 102 miles of steel wall and 93 miles of water buoy barriers were awaiting approval from Noem.
